EBE Chapter 49 Jingyang Ridge, 5 meters ahead
Chapter 49 Jingyang Ridge, 5 meters ahead
Lei Chi waited in the camp square for almost a minute before the King Kong Skeleton King reappeared. It entered the camp square with less than 200 health points remaining.
The Slime King, who had been waiting in the camp square, let out a roar similar to a bull's moo and instantly summoned six LV6 Horned Slimes.
The next moment, King Slime and his six minions ganged up on King Kong Skeleton.
The outcome was self-evident: the Vajra Skeleton King, now only a sliver of health, was quickly killed and vanished in a flash of light. The Slime King, on the other hand, was instantly upgraded, reaching level 7.
"Ding! Defeated the Vajra Skeleton King, completing the war mission 'The Skeleton King's Wrath'! You have intimidated the skeleton race and utterly crushed the skeleton army's invasion!"
"Ding! Rewards settled. You can choose to receive 300 gold coins or a Skeleton Miner..."
Lei Chi ignored the system notification for the time being, still pondering the purpose of [Jingyanggang].
He didn't know how the battle between the Vajra Skeleton King and the live tiger went into Jingyang Ridge, but the Vajra Skeleton King had over 1200 health points when it went in, but came out with less than 200 health points.
It is evident that although Jingyanggang failed to stop the Vajra Skeleton King, it did deplete more than a thousand of his health points.
Since [Jingyanggang] can deal so much damage to the Vajra Skeleton King, it will probably be even more effective against other monsters or players.
"Let's say it deals 1000 damage. That's a lot of damage to all units, which means that any unit with less than 1000 health won't be able to get past Jingyang Ridge, no matter how many there are. So, clearing the eleventh wave of monster invasions will be a piece of cake, right?"
Lei Chi was once again amazed by the power of custom levels.
Now, when he chooses the reward for defeating the King Kong Skeleton King, the Skeleton Miner is the more appropriate choice, since the Skeleton Miner is marked as "rare" by the system.
After the choice was made, a beam of light descended from the sky and landed in the center of the Thunder Pool camp square, transforming into a small, pure white skeleton.
This little skeleton was wearing a safety mining helmet, the kind with a spotlight in the center, big boots, and thick gloves. He was only 1.5 meters tall, clearly a skeleton miner.

"A pretty good little miner, much better than the orc peons. The orc peons are idiots now, the kind who just sit around doing nothing, their loyalty is zero, and they can't dig up a single copper coin..."
Lei Chi is quite satisfied with the Skeleton Miner's attributes. Its loyalty will not decrease, and it will even play dead. If you put it in a gold mine, it can definitely be upgraded to level 10 in the future, and it can reliably mine gold.
"Today's harvest was pretty good. Let's grab a bite to eat and come back later!"
Lei Chi happily led the skeleton miner into the gold mine, snatched the useful pickaxe from the orc laborer who was scratching his head, and equipped the skeleton miner with it.
Next, Lei Chi went to the [Lunchbox Maker] to select a lunchbox. Before he could finish his meal, the camp protection period ended, and a system notification immediately rang in his ears: "Ding, alarm, player Wang Daochang has launched an invasion war against your secret camp."
Lei Chi casually shoveled a mouthful of rice into his mouth and muttered to himself, "Who is Wang Daochang? Is he also from the Flying Fire Camp?"
He picked up his lunchbox and ate as he walked, as if to see if the guys who came to invade his camp would succeed.
Logically speaking, things are different now. The defense index of our own camp has reached 257. There shouldn't be any reckless fools who dare to invade. Lei Chi hopes that the opponent is strong enough, preferably the kind that comes prepared.
At this moment, Wang Daochang, the leader of the seventh group of the thugs, had already rushed into the dangerous [War Corridor].
"No tower? Not bad!"
He quickly surveyed his surroundings, feeling reassured, then opened the team chat and sent a message: "No problem, everyone come in."
Soon, seven more players rushed out of the [Time-Space Wormhole]. They were all "experts" above level 20. They were all wearing equipment. Some were holding shields, some were carrying large swords, and one of them was pushing a wheelbarrow.
"Team leader, what's the plan? Should we charge forward in a long, straight formation?"
"Team leader, who should carry the tower?"
"Team leader, how do we split the loot after a successful intrusion? How much will each person get?"
"One hundred each!"
"Only a hundred? This job isn't profitable!"
"Ten times in a row, one hundred each time, ten times a thousand, four times a day, isn't it enough to earn a thousand in two and a half days? Besides, that doesn't even include the looted supplies."
"Hey, you guys can't be careless. Although this camp's defense index isn't very high, we all know that the defense index doesn't represent the true defensive capability. We can't afford to mess things up."
"A lowly player who just cleared the 10th wave of jungle monsters at the Beast Tower, and we eight level 20+ players came charging in head-on, and you tell me how we're going to lose?"
"Alright, let's finish this quickly!" Wang Daochang, carrying an iron shield, said, "I'll tank the tower. Form a long, single-file formation. Everyone, adapt to the situation, but don't overtake me. Show some professionalism. First, shout out the slogan with me!"
He raised his right hand and shouted, "Stronger, faster, more professional!"
The other seven people joined in, shouting in unison: "Stronger, faster, more professional!"
"Very forceful, very tough, and very violent!"
"Very forceful, very tough, and very violent!"
"Hacks? We're professionals! Robberies? We're serious!"
"Hacks? We're professionals! Robberies? We're serious..."
After the eight men finished shouting their slogan, they were as if they had been injected with chicken blood. Wang Daochang raised his shield and ran off.
Behind him, the other seven people followed one after another, forming a neat formation.
Holding his lunchbox, Lei Chi vaguely heard slogans and wondered what was going on. He looked towards the War Corridor...
Wang Daochang was also carefully observing the Beast Tower ahead. When the [Giant Green Serpent]'s venomous spit landed on him, he disdainfully shouted, "Poison Tower, trash!"
The porcupine's bristles struck him, and he yelled again, "Porcupine quills, trash!"
The tiger's roar made him slow down, but he remained unfazed and shouted, "Big tiger, trash!"
He ran smoothly for 150 meters in the war corridor, only needing to take a small dose of medicine. Then, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind: "Jingyang Ridge is 50 meters ahead. There is a big tiger in the mountain. Please proceed with caution."
"Jingyanggang? What the hell?"
Wang Daochang was slightly puzzled, but still didn't care and kept shouting.
"Lightning strike, slow down, trash!"
"Water cannonballs? Garbage!"
"Fire-breathing duck? Trash!"
"Cold air? Trash!"
At this moment, Wang Daochang had already spotted the foolish camp leader who was still shoveling food into his bowl. He felt confident that he only needed to run a few more steps to enter the camp square. Seeing that there were no players in the camp assisting in the defense, he was certain that the invasion had succeeded.
Suddenly, the scenery before his eyes changed. The scene he had imagined, stepping into the enemy camp square, did not occur. In an instant, he was running into a mountain forest.
"What happened?"
Just as he was wondering what was going on, a large tiger roared and leaped out of the bushes beside him, baring its teeth and looking menacing, as if it were about to devour him.
"What the hell is this? A trap? An ambush?"
Wang Daochang was immediately filled with doubt, but driven by instinct, he took off running.
"Woohoo!"
Another tiger roar!
That tiger's roar is a skill!
Wang Daochang's movement speed immediately decreased by 30%, and the [Big Tiger] caught up with him in a few leaps, just like a ferocious beast in the mountains, and swung its tiger claws at Wang Daochang without any politeness.
"-44!"
"-44! Double hit!"
"-44!"
……
Wang Daochang was completely stunned. In just a few breaths, he lost three or four hundred health points to the [Big Tiger]. Just as he was about to fight back, a gaping maw came at him and snapped into his neck with a snap.
"Ding! Alert! You have been choked by a tiger. You will suffer 53 points of physical damage per second for the next twenty seconds, during which time you will not be able to use any potions!"
